Vulnerability of the Netherlands to Cyber Incidents

Recently, the vulnerability of the Netherlands to cyber incidents came into sharp focus following an incident at Albert Heijn. This event has sparked a broader discussion about the reliance of Dutch companies on digital systems, and whether they are adequately prepared for serious disruptions.
